My great grandfather moved in with me as he is having a hard time living alone and his cognition is starting to fade he is incredibly rude and claims false things due to his lack of senses in his older age and has fallen multiple times. I am starting to see that this situation could get worse and I am not sure how to proceed. I am thinking it would be best to have him stay at a facility that is properly equipped to handle him though I fear the family backlash from such a situation may be seen as taboo. Is there anything I should do to properly handle this situation? Do I need specific documentation or anything? I’m new to this and not sure how to proceed he wasn’t always like this he was a good person when he was younger but I fear my kids may be negatively impacted from how he acts towards them now. Please help, thank you

    To hell with what family outside your home thinks.

    You have family inside your home, and a problem in your home that’s affecting them. That takes precedent. If anyone outside that has a problem with it, it’s their problem to have, not yours. You can’t please everyone and that includes family.

    I don’t have any advice other than letting this hangout go.
